Our garden is doing ok...plenty of green beans and tomatoes. Cukes and zukes did not do so well...plants died right after we would pick. Any idea why? Green peppers are not getting big. We went through several weeks of no rain and above 90 degree temps here in central IN...we did water, but probably not like we should've. I have canned/frozen stuff till I am not going to do anymore.
Did not have any sweet corn this year. My brother and my son (farmers) always put out some at the edge of a field. Due to rainy spring they had to plant a short season variety...then it turned off dry and hot...sweet corn just did not do well. Then the raccoons got what there was. Darn.
My flowers have not done so well. Between the dog trying to get to a snake that took up residence in one flower bed and the hot/dry summer, they are looking really, really bad. Over Labor Day weekend, I will pull out my annuals and put some mums in place of them. I have mercy-killed my hanging baskets. 23 days straight of 90+ temps was just too much for them. I got so tired of carrying water to them every day (and we do not have water spigot at the front of the house).
